Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The pricing and licensing for Meraki are good, and I would rate it as a nine out of ten."
"I use Location Analytics to identify rogue hotspots and find the last location of missing devices."
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
"If you can afford this solution, it's worth every dime in terms of what you get out of it."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"Technical support has always been very good."
"Excellent in memory performance, return results with clicks, matchless click to collaborate features, just initiate discussion on data points and context, connect relevant users and dashboards and explore suggestive auto insight."
"Very good tool for the ones who are looking for ease of use and rich data visualization."
"The work boards are a great way to provide the management a clear, concise, one source of truth and progress of business in one snapshot."
"The major strengths of this product are social business intelligence, insights and intuitive self-service."
"This tool exceeded my expectations!"
"Considering all aspects of price or features or comfort working with it, it is the best."
"I highly recommend this tool for any business that wishes for quicker and qualitative analysis of their data."
"While working on Business Intelligence and searching for newly available tool, I came across Panorama Necto, the first business tool I have seen with a scope for personalization while providing a great visual infographic experience and which is user friendly."
 

Cons

"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive."
"My biggest complaint with Meraki Location Analytics is the lack of visibility into the back end. Everything we do is through a customer GUI, and there's limited access to CLI functions."
"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"There are no specific areas for improvement as everything is working very well."
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."
"Initially when one starts with the tool there are so many options on the console (it is a bit cluttered), one is a bit confused."
"If you are looking for powerful tool which can support large scale databases and BigData Analytics, Necto is NOT an option."
"Panorama doesn't have big community support and many issues we refer to the technicians."
"Need improve on handling big data."
"Support and functionality for Mac OS X."
"Support for bi directional language is not powerful. (Arabic, Hebrew) BIGDATA is questionable"
"Training, tutorial and awareness."
"There is very limited documentation available for this tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is less expensive compared to other vendors for gold partners."
"They have different tiers of pricing including one-year, three-year, five-year, seven-year, and ten-year."
